Hello! I am desperate :( I have acne, comedones and pimples in general on my face and back for several years - about 5 ... This year I was 18 and went to a dermatologist for treatment, he prescribed me an antibiotic to drink, to reduce oily skin and internal regulation, also an anti-acne lotion ... I started strict adherence, they did hormonal tests, I went to the gynecologist, everything was fine ... I started the treatment and in about 3 months there was a visible result, but it had to be complete and not I go out more ... I went to a dermatologist every month and he told me that I was obviously slowing down and that the antibiotic treatment should have lasted only three months. The third month passed and we stopped it, the doctor said he was not satisfied, because I still had pimples, then he prescribed me another ointment for my face, and the lotion remained only for my back ... But after I applied it once or twice, pimples started to appear again and my skin became oily from this ointment, it is like a cream, and it is written that it is special against acne. Anyway, I'm continuing now, it's been 1 month since I stopped the antibiotic and the pimples started to appear - the old ones, standing like grains on my skin, bumps, etc. (Dermatologist said that there is obviously something in the ovaries that hurts, but during the examination they told me that there was nothing and that they were healthy ... HELP, give advice; (((

Ask him if he can drink Roaccutane. And I'm all in nasty pimples, the treatment is 6 months, I'm now 4 months and there is a visible result and my skin is dry. See read there is a forum for this drug.
Unfortunately, I also suffered from severe acne on my face and back at the age of 10, and now I am 22 years old and the situation is still the same. I have tried all sorts of pills and ointments, but unfortunately the effect is only temporary :(
Go to a gynecologist to prescribe contraceptives. This is a pure hormonal problem. I know it from personal experience. I used to have an awful lot of pimples, mostly on my face, but after drinking about 3-4 packs, I no longer had any, I don't even have blackheads. I used to smear myself with a lot of nonsense: Garnier, lotions, ointments, creams, I tried my grandmother's recipes, but nothing helped, because they are for external use, and the problem is internal. Just go to a gynecologist and have a contraceptive. That alone helped me.
I can only tell you that antibiotic treatment can last for years. But it's better than steroids, which can do a lot of damage in many different places in the body, so the damage from them is greater than the improvements. Antibiotics are taken for a year, and maybe more, with a long break during each period.
Me too. I did a lot of nonsense with ointments, some even had a negative effect, in the end I got tired of smearing my face with chemicals and I just got used to it. And I drank contraceptives - the effect is while drinking them, and as far as I know it is not useful to overdo it. I haven't come up with antibiotics because they are very likely to cause fungus and I don't think it's worth it. Try linseed oil. In addition to the skin, it is also useful for hair and nails. For me, the effect is a little longer, but after a while they reappear. But it is not known, it can work for you.
Pimples and other filth are largely related to the food you eat and contaminated intestines. I speak from personal experience. I have had similar problems in the past. Neither antibiotics help, nor ointments or their effect is temporary. Search the net for forums or books on natural medicine, healthy eating, bowel cleansing, etc. This will certainly help you more than taking antibiotics all the time. For 6 months with a natural diet and various purifications, I had a huge improvement. Success!
